KES'2007 11th International Conference on Knowledge-Based Intelligent Information & Engineering Systems In conjunction with WIRN’07- Italian Workshop on Neural Networks, 12–14 September 2007 Vietri Sul Mare, near Salerno, Italy
Call for Paper Invited Session on Condensation Algorithms and their Applications
Purpose :
	This Invided Session aims to discuss bring together researcher interested from difference fields like as, the particle filters, with an opportunity to exchange information and new ideas, and to discuss new developments in the different fields. It is visualized that areas of interaction will be further explored and common applications will be considered with focus on the "CONDENSATION algorithms and their applications"
Description:
	Many modern signal processing problems involve systems that are nonlinear and nonstationary. Data-driven models that are based on powerful function approximation methods such as neural networks have been applied with demonstrable success to these problems. Nonstationarity imposes a particular difficulty in these settings because regularization techniques such as cross validation can be inapplicable.  In this session, we will discuss what particle filters are, and present how they are applicable in the various fields.
Topics:
	Applications of Particle filtering in communications, vision systems and tracking systems Filter Optimization Particle Filters for Mobile robots Hybrid Particle filter Sequential Inference with Particle Filters
